"They both had been at this fit club, and they both were in the hot tub. And so we worked with LA Fitness and tested the hot tub, and we discovered that was the source," said Jason Gerwig, DuPage County Health Department. DuPage health officials say LA Fitness has worked closely with health officials, and are now cleaning the hot tub. And they also say tests show the pool and showers are safe.

From now until January 1, Rollero is offering free admission to a group fitness class with every donation of two cans of food. By the first of the year, Rollero is hoping to have hundreds if not thousands of canned foods to donate to the Flemington Food Pantry. Based on data from the United Way of Northern NJ, I know that close to 30 percent of the families in Hunterdon County are struggling financially and going into the winter months, food banks need donations more than ever, said Rollero who established Healthy U Fitness in 1992. She said people are also struggling with the commitment to be healthy and stay fit so she decided to combine efforts to create the Healthy U Fitness Holiday Food Drive.

PUSH While most of the devices I've reviewed focus primarily on overall fitness, Push is the first tracker designed to help gym rats get the most out of their time at the weight bench. By tracking statistics via the Push companion app for your smartphone, the Push armband keeps track of reps, force, power, balance, velocity and other metrics while you pump iron. The app breaks your workout down into easily digestible charts, figures and eye-catching infographics. And not only will the Push software tell you how much you've accomplished, it'll also help you gauge how much more you could do. If you've stopped before you reach your peak, the app will tell you, just like a real gym coach.

Fitness tracking is a space in which the Baltimore-based company has traditionally lagged behind other athletic giants, like Nike, which launched its social fitness platform back in 2006 (Nike+) and today counts over 20 million members in its ranks. Since then Nike has launched its own successful activity tracker, the Fuelband, as well as a bevy of related mobile fitness apps and even a TechStars-powered startup accelerator . The market for fitness apps, devices and services, while emergent, has been growing like gangbusters over the last few years, and Gartner said in a recent report that it expects the market to grow from $1.6 billion this year to $5 billion by 2016. As a result, a gaggle of companies compete with Nike (and now Under Armour) on the health tracking side with their own proprietary, wearable devices from established players like Fitbit, Jawbone and Adidas to the more recent entry of tech giants like Google and Apple. As sensors improve and continue to advance, the line between traditional health tracking devices and platforms and more broadly consumer-facing wearables continues to blur, and Under Armour has a long road ahead as it looks to go toe-to-toe with established social fitness communities and their companion apps.
